– Bralon Addison earned Pac-12 Player of the Week honors on special teams for his 81-yard punt return touchdown Saturday, which tied the score with Michigan State. The return was the third of Addison’s career. Cliff Harris and Keenan Howry possess the current school record of four career kick returns for touchdowns.
– Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. suffered a broken index finger on his throwing hand during Oregon’s 61-42 win over Eastern Washington Saturday, Sept. 5. The index finger is responsible for guiding the football out of the throwing hand upon release. Adams Jr. wore a glove over his injured finger in Oregon’s 31-28 loss to Michigan State, and now it is wrapped in a splint.
– The Ducks refuse to divulge the severity of Adams Jr.’s finger injury, but his level of participation in their upcoming home game will provide the best clue about the severity of his injury. Doctor of Physical Therapy Colin Hoobler reported full recovery will likely take several weeks, meaning back-up Jeff Lockie could line up behind center against low-tier opponent Georgia State.
– Class of 2016 three-star recruit Cam McCormick will forego his senior high school football and basketball seasons after he tore his ACL during practice last week. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound tight end planned to enroll at Oregon early in January, but now hopes to enroll in March.
– Malcolm Askew, he No. 4 athlete in the country according to Rivals, received his 43rd offer from the University of Oregon Tuesday. The 5-foot-10, 176-pound prospect from McCalla, Alabama included Oregon in a list of ten schools from which he hoped to garner offers last week.
